    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

So here we go again,

 

1 year ago I gave up using Allan Carr's 'Easy Way to stop Smoking' Book.

 

I was doing really well until a few problems hit my family, so here I go again. I'll start a count down when I name the day. This time I'm going to use 'Champix' the wonder drug to help me stop :D along with the great mind set that Allan Carr gives you.

 

So Step 1, Make a appointment to see either the practice nurse or G.P.

 

Well that was quick, while I was typing this (and before I forgot:confused:) I phoned the practice and got an appointment for 11:15 tomorrow. How's that for a rural service that hasn't gone to the dogs.

 

I'll let you know what he has to say.

 

Over the passed few years I have tried patchs, they brought me out in a rash. Zyban, which is an anti-deppessant and did not suit me at all and good 'ol Allan Carr which was by far the best.

 

Right then, one nasty old nicotine monster, on he's way out.

 

Lex

It's one of Allan Carr's saying's CG,

 

About 'Slamming the door' on the nicotine monster. You have to believe that the craving's are the addiction inside you, it's the nicotine monster thats suffering, not you.

Here I go again, this time I will do it!!! I know I will !!!

Well .......... when this forum first opened many moons ago (the stop smoking that is) I did say that I was going to quit once again :rolleyes: however that didnt materialise ...... I did mention to my GP and to get any help from them I have to register at one of the stop smoking clinics the majority of them run mid morning or early afternoon which unfortunatly are when I am in work there are a couple that are run from 6-8pm one that is inaccessable from here for non drivers such as myself the other is in the town center walk-in center so I am thinking of heading there (once I have finished the duty free's that I have in stock - no way on earth will I be able to stop while thet are in the house ;-)) so I may be a couple of weeks behind you lex

Saint. While your getting rid of the duty free, do try and read the Allan Carr book. (Easy way to stop smoking) It really does put things into prospective and gives you a new outlook on smoking. :)

 

Tilly, You better had, to be fair, you have had enough going on to worry about without our little 'monster' You will kill him this time, to be sure.

 

Lula, Well, who's a cleaver girl then. As I am a month behind you, I will be looking for tips from the expert :p

 

WE CAN DO IT !!
